Services of Increased MISUNDERSTANDING
Meetings Held.


SPRING GROVE CAMP GROUND, Aug q.
AT 3 O'Clock Friday afternoon a large
audience assembled to attend the mission
ary service. For the first time on the
ground the Ladies Foreign and Home
Missionary societies meetings were held at
the same time, Mrs. Hubbard presided at
the meeting. After singing the hymn
commencing "From Greenand's icy

Miss Florence Atwater presented in a
pleasant manner some missionary litera

sionary treasury.
Mrs. II. II. Reed was then introduced
and spoke in behalf of the Woman's Home
Missionary society. She spoke of the
needs OF literature in Alaska and Utah,
the Indians and among the ignorant
whites and blacks of the South and III var
ious other parts of our land. The address
was stirring, earnest and direct. Rev. NJ
II. Smith was then introduced and spoke
at some length in the interests OF the Wo-
mans Foreign Missionary society. A col
lection of so was taken to be equally d-
vtded between the two societies.
Between. the hours of g and eight differ
ent prayer services were held in As many
places. 1t seemed that nearly all who
were not otherwise engaged were at some
place of service. AT seven the largest even
ing service yet held was before the stand
Rev. NJ. NJ. Curry of Pittsford preached
an effectual sermon from the words, at
is a faithful saying and worthy of all ac-
ceptation that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners" The sermon was
followed by an eXhortation by Rev Il. II.
Brown and an altar service which contin-
ued till near the ringing of the bell at 10
o'clock. The bell rang for retiring and
every voice was hushed in repose.
This morning was bright and pleasant.
AT 8 O'Clock preparations for breakfast
were under way, and at the voice of
morning devotion could be heard in all
directions. The o'clock prayer service
was held in the chapel, led by Rev. J. w.
Bennett. The service was full of interest
| till 10 o'clock. At that hour Rev. II. A.
| Durtee of Slingerlands, \. y, preached
an excellent sermon from the words MAN
! looketh on the outward appearance, but
God looketh on the heart" The preacher
was clear logical and direct. Rev. NJ. H.
Smith followed with remarks and led an
altar service.
At p. III. Rev. G. H. Robbins preached
from the words "Where they had al
prayed the place was shaken where they
were assembled together and they
were all filled with the Holy Ghost
Rev. f. Widmer followed in remarks and
an altar service was led by Rev. j. w
Bennett. The meeting increases in mum
bers and interest.

ANOTHER HOT ROAST"
BURLINGTON DROPS A GAME TO ST.
ALBANS AT ATHLETIC PARK.
Smuggling Match Results in "A Score of IL
to 9-Another Umpire Narrowly Es.
capes Mobbing-Rutland Shut
out by st. Adams,

The game of ball Saturday at Athletic
park between the St. Adams and the home
team was won by the former by the score
of 10 to 9. 1t was characterized by heavy
batting on both sides, and by considerable
loose fielding, especially by the home
team who made error after error in the
third inning, all of whic hwere costly.
Roach and Granville were the battery for
the home team and Whartenby and Rooms
for the visitors. Granville did not throw to
bases with his accustomed accuracy, and
two or three others were also "Otf" in
their throwing
The umpire was clearly wrong in sever
al of his decisions, and in each instance
the decision was given in favor of the
visiting club. Two of them were at the
home plate where he should have been
able to have seen and given correct deci-
sion. and another especially, at the first
base, which the umpire cannot properly
cover, owing to his being lame, the effect of
being hit by two hot balls. Another fea-
ture of the game was the fine fielding of
kearney, who accepted every chance and
caught four hys. Harris also did well and
out OF seven chances accepted all but one
In the first inning Downey scored after
two men We're out on hit and two wild
throws to bases. Neither side scored
again till the third when Linehan and
Harris made runs. The visitors then
struck a batting streak and the home
team streak of errors. Nine runs were
then made on eight hits, errors and ques-
tionable decisions of the umpire. The
game was then won but the home team
would not concede it yet. In the fourth
neither scored, Granville and Roach beng
retired on double play by Whartenby,
Long and Brennan. In the fifth Linehan
led of with a double and was followed by
Harris, McGuirk and kearney with a single
Il double and single. Edmunds was out
pitcher to first and Bowen followed with
Il triple bringing in those who had not al
ready arrived there, scoring on kennedy's
sacrifice hit to short. Granville retired
on fly TO centre. The visitors then got
two runs on hits by Hoyt aud Whartenby
and double by Long.
In the sixth Rooms added another to the
ST. Adams string and both teams WERE
bauked in the seventh.
In the eighth Kennedy and Granville
flied out, Roach followed with doubl,
and was rescued by Linehan by foul
Dagger, amid the enthusiastic cheers of The
crowd. Burlington could not even up tn,

"APPLT FOR WHAT YOU WANT

HAPPILY FOR WHAT YOU WANT"
Our Mobeetie letter, printed in yester-
days GAZETTE, contained this paragraph:
In a letter to a gentleman of this county who
applied to lease school lands, the land com
missioner Gays "Au unsold and Unbiased
lands are subject to lease. Apply for what you
want"
THE GAZETTE must presume that its
CORE pendent correctly quoted the land
commissioner, but would be only too
glad to trd that there was some mistake
in this matter. Certainly the language
quoted is terse and to the point In one
brief sentence Mr.. Hall sets at rest all
douts as to the policy which he intends
to pursue in the management of these
lands.
"Apply for what you want" The bull
iionaires, the syndicates and the copora-
items, which have heretofore been re-
strained from leasing by laws and regu-
!ations which regarded their interests as
Of less Importance than the settlement CT
the school lands, will doubtless, for the
first time since the land question has been
actively agitated, breathe q sigh Of relief
when this invitation is received.
Now that it is settled that the pasture
interests are to get what they want, the
public and the prospective immigration
must endure a further season of sus-
pense while the barons are making up
their minds as to what they want,
THE GAZETTE, as friend Of the set.
tier, begs that they will not deny him the
crumbs OF the rich feast to which they are
invited by the state.
"Apply for WHAT you want" We trust
the members of the Twentieth Legisla-
ture are content with the new caption
which the commissioner has given tht il
land law bantling.
In the meantime THE GAZETTE hopes
that it will not disturb the grave delib
erations Of the barons, upon which hinges
the fate of al empire in territory to in
quire what was the intention of the
Legislature in the following pro-
vision of the law under (which Com
missioner Hall is acting when he invites
the pasture men to take "whst they
want" "The Commissioner, if satisfied
that the lands applied for Ito lease art
not IN immediate demand for purposes o.
actuoi settlement, and that such lands car
be leased without detriment to the pub
lie interest, shall notify the applicant in
writing that his proposition to lease is
accepted"
Is it true that none of the school land:
are wanted fo- settlement, and that the
reports from the Panhandle about the de.
mand for lands for purposes Of settlement
are all mythical"

An Immense Establishment Six Miles from

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. 12.-The
giant powder works located at the west
boundary, six miles from here, across
San Francisco bay, exploded at , O'Clock
this afternoon. The force of the explo-
sion was such that the windows along the
battery in front of this city were smashed.
There were four shocks, the second and
third almost simultaneous and occurring
shortly after the first. The fourth shock
was felt about three minutes after the
third. The first occurred in the nitro
glycerine mixing house, the others in the
magazine, resulting from conclusion
caused by the first. The first report
from the scene Of the disaster Was to the
effect that thirty Cinnamon had been
killed, but later reports showed that only
one Chineman was killed, and four white
men and six Cinnamon were severely in
Jured. The works were owned by Band
man, Nelson & Co. land number of serious
explosions have occurred prior to this
one. Sixty Cinnamon losing their lives
on former occasion. The shock OF the
explosion was felt in Oakland and Ala
media most severely. The windows were
shattered in the former place and general
commotion prevailed here. The explo-
sion almost threw workmen employed on
the wharf off their feet. The bright flashes
of the first explosion was seen through
the haze by but few, but when the Shock
was felt all instinctiyely looked over to-
ward the Berkeley shore. When the sec
ond explosion occurred the fash was seen

COUNTY ROADS.

To the surprise of many, the Commits
sioners' Court decided at it's last sitting,
on Thursday, to let the question of
straight roads for Tarrant county remain
in allegiance for the present. There was
opposition to the project from its incip-
iency; some opposed it on the grounds
that it would cost the county too much,
without giving any resultant benefits;
others opposed it for reasons satisfactory
to themselves but difficult to discover by
others. According to the best advices,
the road would have cost only trife as
compared with the time and labor spent
IN following the old road. II the first
fourteen miles had been reduced to ten,
thus shortening the route by four miles,
the saving to travellers and those who
haul their crops and freight over it,would
soon pay all the expense of opening the
road. The proposition is a simple one.
Take the entire expense Of traffic and
travel, the wear and tear of harness and
vehicles, the time consumed and the labor
necessary to haul them, and it will, at
fair estimate, amount to an enormous
sum. By curtailing and Strengthening
this road to Bransford, nearly one-third
Of this expense will be saved annually
and 1t would soon foot up enough to pay
all expenses Incurred in establishing and
maintaining it. The three thousand FIVE
hundred dollars necessary to purchase
right OF way is mere bsgstelle. II the
property owners along the line OF the
proposed route fully appreciated the i'm
conveniently accessible to their property,
they would make the cost OF right Of way
less. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
lands now worth fifteen dollars an acre
would enhance in value fifty per cent
were they connected with the city by 8
good road which would be at all times
p,ssable. The objection to the sandy
section on the proposed new route will
hardly be found tenable. While sand is
not the choicest kindj of soil upon which
to drive heavily laden wagons, it is al
ways passable and never so "heavy" as is
the black mud, which, in wet weather, is
worse than sand and almost as bad
as no road ct ell. The commissioners
acting for the whole county, exer-
cised their judgment as to what would
be best for the whole county doubtless,
and concluded that one piece of road
would benefi. one section only. They
should have remembered thst one road at
q time is all that can be built, and that
Tarrant county is in condition at pres
ent which demands good roads and must
have them ere long. THE GAZETTE re.
grets that the commissioners did not
decide differently and make beginning
on what must soon be general system
